1KMASD t'OH KIHB PROTECTION.
City la short of Fonda to Grant the
Itellef Asked.
Residents of the section of the city south
of Sixteenth avenue will descend In a
body on the city council tonight and present
a demand that they be afforded fire pro
tection. If the arrangements mode at a
meeting of the South Side Improvement
club Friday night are carried out a com
mittee 1)0 strong will march from the club
rooms to the city hall and present the
demand.
That this portion of the city Is In need
of fire protection Is conceded by the mu
nicipal authorities, but how to afford It Is
a problem which they are unable to solve.
The oltacle to granting the peoplb south
of Sixteenth avenue what they ask and
what by right they are entitled to Is the
lock of funda The city council will be
asked. It Is understood, tonight to place
a chemical engine and crew In that section
of the city and the aldermen will be forced
to admit that the funds available for the
maintenance of the fire deportment will
not admit It.
The city Is limited to a 10-mlll levy for
the general fund, out of which the fire
aepartment 1b maintained. But for the
sums transferred from the police to tho
general fund each year, the general fund
would be Insufficient to meet the dpmnnds
of the polios and fire departments as they
now are, much less If either department
was Increased. With the prospect of a
falling off In the receipts from saloon II
censes the next twelve months, owing to
me enforcement or the mulct 1.. iv,n
general fund promises to be materially im
paired.
There has been talk of getting a bill
through the state legislature permitting
cities having a paid fire department to
levy a special tax for Its maintenance. If
this bill should be passed, then the city
council would find Itself In a position to
provide fire protection for the southern
port of the city, but until this happens the
city council, so the aldermen and other
city officials Insist, Is powerless to alTord
tho relief asked.
At present In the section of the city
south of Sixteenth avenue there Is not a
fire hydrant south of Nineteenth avenue
and Eighth street, nor west of Sixteenth
avenue and Ninth street, leaving a large
and thickly populated district entirely
without protection.

EGBERT 19 tX HO DANGER OF DEATH.
Nothing Xfrr Develops as to Difficulty
with May.
Harold Egbert, who was shot Saturday
night by Both May, proprietor of a Broad
way saloon, was reported last evening to
be resting easily at Mercy BospItaL
Probing failed to locate the bullet. At the
hospital It was stated that the wound was
not considered dangerous and that unless
unforeseen complications arose Egbert
would recover.
Beth May when seen yesterday was not
willing to discusa the shooting beyond
stating that he had t right to protect his
own place, he supposed. The trouble
started, It Is stated, by Egbert, who had
been refused any drink In May s saloon,
seising a drink which had been set out on
the bar for someone else. May reaented
this and ordered Egbert out of the place
and when he refused to go put him 6ut
When Egbert returned a second time to
the saloon and again began to start a
rough house May again ejected him. At
me noor mere was a souffle and May. It Is

In self-de-
Egbert,' after bring shot, walked to the
corner of Bryant street, where he was
found leaning against the Shugart & Ouren
building by Sergeant Whittaker and Spe
cial Officer Miller, word of the shooting
having been sent to the police station.
At the police station Egbert declined to
say anything about the shooting or as to
who .shot him.
On February 15 Harold Egbert and his
brother. Chester, together with Charles
Langdon. were committed to the county
Jail to serve out a 1100 flno each for com
plicity in the theft of several bedqullts
from Peorlman's store on Main street. Thia

and they were re touted.

Btookmtn Fuiiing Ore to Goapel Making
f Joint Bate?.
AIMED TO HELP INDEPENDENT PACKERS
JsvrntVe toort Illll Will Also Attract
Attention of the Ia-lslators Dur
ing; the Coming Week Aft
ernath of t on vent Ion.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
PES MOINES, March . (Special.) One
of the Important matters to come before
the general assembly the coming week is
that In relation to the railroad bills which
have been proposed. A bill wus Introduced
on Saturduy In the house which may prove
of great concern. It is a bill to require
that the railroads In Iowa shall make Joint
freight rates between different lines on live
stock being shipped to pocking houses in
the state and this Joint rate shall not be
greater than the sum of the two locals,
plus 11. In each case. The bill has boon
prepared at the suggestion of the Live
Stock Shippers' association and to further
their plan to establish a packing house at
Oolweln, on ths Great Western railroad.
Their belief la that such a regulation Is
necessary if independent packing houses
are to be maintained in the state. There
are, however, Independent packing houses
in the state which have been operated at
a profit for years at Ottumwa, Cedar Rap
ids, Boone and Doe Motneo. There Is a
belief prevalent that the Great Western
railroad la back of the movement to have
an Independent packing house established
at Oelweln and that It Is the desire of that
comiHTiy to be In a position to force the
other companies to make a Joint rate on
llvn slock that will be advantageous to the
business.
The other rnllroad bills are those relating
to the return passes of Btock shippers from
terminal points. Those bills are In com
mittee and are receiving some considera
tion. It Is not expected that any further con
sideration will lie given the general bill
Which was burled last week relating to
regulation of stock trains, or the substi
tute which was prepared by the stock ship
pers, Juvenile Court Proposal.
The Juvenile court bill will be taken up
this week and will be presented In an ad
dress by ft gentleman from Colorado, Judge
IJndsey. Tho bill Is something entirely
new In Iowa and Is likely therefore to fare
badly ut the hands of the assembly. It
provides for tho establishment of a Juvenile
court In every county of the state to be
held by the district or superior court Judges
In roomB separate from the other courts and
with separate records. Regarding Its pur
poses the bill as It Is In the sonata provides:
Tlits act shall apply only to children under
the age of m years, and up to their seven
teenth birthday, not ot the time Inmates
of a state Institution or any Industrial
school for boys or for girls, or any Institu
tion Incorporated under the laws of this
state, and shall rpply to all children of
said age. except such as are charged with
the commission of offenses puniuhable under
I tho laws of the state with life Imprison
ment, or with the penalty of death. r"or
the purpose of this act, the words "de
pendent children" or "neglected children"
shall mean any child who for any reason
is destitute or homeless or abandoned; or
dependent upon the public for support; or
who hns not troncr rtarental care fir iruard-
laiishlp; or who habitually begs or receives
alms: or who Is found living In auv house
of 111 fume, cr with any vIcIoub, disreputa
ble or immoral jierson; or whose home, by
reason ot neglect, cruelty or depravity on
tho part of Its parents or guardian or other
person in whose care it may be. Is an unfit
jilnce for such child; and any child under
the age of lu yeurs, who Is found begging,
oeddllna or sellhiir Rnv article or Ktnirtnir
or playing any musical Instrument, upon
the street, or giving any public entertain
ment for pecuniary gain for Helf or another;
or wtlo accompanies or Is used In aid of any
person so doing; or wno, tiy reason or other
vicious, base or corrupting surroundings,
is. In the opinion of tho court, within the
spirit of this act. The words "delinquent
child" shall Include any child under the
age of 10 years, who violates anv law of
this state, or any city or village ordinance;
or who Is Incorrihlble; or who knowingly
associates with thloves, vicious or Immoral
Jwrsoiut, or who Is growing up in Idleness
or crime; or who knowingly frequents a
house of III fame; or who patronises any
policy shop or place where any gaming de
vice Is, or shall bo operated; or who ha
bitually wanders about any railroad yands
or tracks, gets upon any moving train or
enters any car or engine without lawful
authority.
Disposition of Children.
Tho court la provided with all necessary
muchinery and It will provide In relation
to the dlstx;ltloT of children subject to
its Jurisdiction!
In the case of a delinquent child, the
court may continue the hearing from time
to time, and may commit the child to the
cure or custody of a probation offiuer,and
may allow said child to remain in its own
home subject to the visitation of the pro
bation officer; such child to report to the
probutlou officer as often as may be re
sulted, and subject to be returned to the
court for further or other proceedings
whenever such action may appear to tie
necessary; or the court may cause the
child to be placed in a suitable family
home, in case provision Is made by volun
tary contribution or otherwise for the pay
ment of the board of such child, until a
suitable provision may be made In a home
without such payment; or tbe court may
commit such child, if a boy, to an Indus
trial school for boys; or. If a girl, to an
Industrial school for girls; or the court
may commit the child to any Institution
within the county, Incorporated under tho
laws In this state, that may care for de
linquent children, or be provided by a city
or county, suitable for the care of such
children, or to any state Institution which
may be established for the care of delin
quent boys or girls over the age of 10
years. In no case shall a child be com
mitted beyond his or her minority. A child
committed to such Institution shall he sub
ject to the control of the board of man
agers thereof, and the said board shall
have power to parole the child on such
conditions as It may prescribe; and the
court shall, on the recommendation of
the board, have power to discharge such
child from custody whenever. In the Judg
ment of tho court, his or her reformation
Is complete; or the court may commit the
child to the care and custody of some
association that will receive It, embracing
in Its objects the care of neglected or
dependent children, and that has been duly
accredited as hereinafter provided.
No court or magistrate shall commit a
child not yet having reached his 17th

court and proper order shall be made

After the Cnnnty Convention.
The republicans of this county and dis
trict are still somewhat In doubt as to the
meaning of the Hull convention In endors
ing four pemons for delegatos-at-lurgo to
the national convention from Iowa. The
four are the persons who were numed by
J. W. Blythe as his delegate to the con
vention and tho ones he would favor. Gov
ernor Cummins has all along Insisted that
he would not favor taking it out of the
hands of the convention and would not
agree to any plan fir naming In advance
the delegates to the convention. Ho hag
stated that he Is willing to leave It to the
convention. Now the convention here has
assumed to dispose of the entire work of
tire state convention In May and to name
all four delegate. It was never before
known that where a Des Molnoa candi
date was seeking endorsement as against
others that persons from other counties
who have not even yet been endorsed
as candidates elsewhere or are known to
be candidate"! should be endorsed here. It
la not known that all four of the persons
would accept the positions offered. But
at present the matter will be allowed to
rest, and the republicans here are dis
posed to wait and see what those from
other parts of tho state will do.
Municipal Politics In I In r I an.
IIARIiAN. Ia.. Mnreh 6. (Special.) The
local politics of Harlan 1b bubbling al
ready. When It was known that Mayor
C. O. Warren would not be a candidate
for a third term, two candidates appeared
prominently on the horlson. One is T. B.
Koolbeck, who hns served the city two
years as alderman, and the other Is Attor
ney Edmund Dockwood. Both men have
many warm supporters. Besides these two
prominent candidates, the names of O. F.
Graves and Dr. E. J. Smith are mentioned.
The year Is likely to be important in the
history of Harlan. There are two Impor
tant propositions to be voted on by the
electors of the city at the coming municipal
election. One Is the question of the es
tablishment of a free public library. The
other is the proposition to grant the Form
era' Mutual Telephone company a fran
chlse. The farmers' lines are desirous of
building In Harlan an exchange of their
own.
' Mixed fit nation In F.leventh.
SIBLEY, la., March 6. (Special.) The
stirring movements during the past week
In the Eleventh Iowa congressional district
apparently would Indicate that in a couple
of weeks more the winner of the repub
lican nomination could be named with to-
erablo certainty. The tendency, however,
Is not to a landslide for any particular can
didate, but rather to the formation of
"spheres of influence," and these lndlc.a-
tlons suggest a strong probability ot a
prolonged contest In the, congressional con
ventlon. In the southwestern part of the
district Is the Hubbard group of counties;
In the eastern part of the district, the
Thomas Funk group, end In the western
part the Struble-Roach group. These groups
have somo unaffiliated counties, which may
be termed the Independent group, the prin
clpal of which are Sac, Cherokee and
Osceola counties. Of the three groups the
Hubbard group Is the strongest. If present
conditions prevail It Is quite certain one
or more new candidates will enter the
field.

Waters of the Gulf.
Ever since the city of Onlvcston, Tex.,

Not only Is the wall 'considered lmpreg

and cement, resting on a foundation of

urday with a disagreement. From the
best of authorities the Post was Informed
yesterday that the break in the negotia
tions between the two Interests Is not a
lermanent one and that by March 21 an
other meeting of the Joint subcommittee
will be held quietly. The whole matter will

was further said that there was every
reason for believing that the ultimate end
of the whole matter would be the ac
ceptance of the tower rate by the miners'

pick for tha next two years.
AIVrtJONA, Pa., March . BubdlstrTct
No. 1 of district No. i of the United Mino
Workers of the central Pennsylvania bi
tuminous field has unanimously adopted a
resolution Insisting on the continuance of
60 cents a ton for pick mining, 59 cents a
ton for machine mining, an increase of 40
per cent over the old rate, and an increase
for drivers and day laborers. The annual
district convention will be held here next
week. The delegates have been Instructed
to resist any reduction, even to the point
of striking. The central Pennsylvania dele
gates led the fight for no reduction at the
Indianapolis convention.
NATURE A GOOD ARTIFICER
Those Who Try Find It Hard to Im
prove I'pon Its Handi
work. "Did you know the method of making
shot has never changed? No? Well, It's
a .fact," said the shotmaker. "Hundreds
of years ago shot was made In Just the
some way It Ib made now. Seems strange,
doesn't It, that with all the improvements
In other lines none has been made in this?
Oh, yes, plenty of men have tried to find
some better way, but they all have had to
give It up and go back to the old shot
tower. They wanted to get rid of the
high tower, for that Is the most expensive
part of the plant.
'You know shot Is made by pouring a
melted composition of lead and arsenic
through a screen or from a big ladle with a
serrated edge at the top of the tower and
letting it fall into a tank of water. The
drops of lead get perfectly round on their
way down Just like rain drops and by the
time they reach the 'water they are cold
enough so they do not flatten out when
they strike. Then the water finishes the
cooling proceM.
'They have tried dropping the lead
through a big tube with a blast of cold
air against the outside and they have tried
dropping !t through glycerin. But none
of these ways seems to work. Why can't
they improve on It? Well, I suppose bo-
cause the fellow who started making shot
found tho right way. It's Just following
the course that nature takes In making
hall and I don't suppose they can beat
nature at nature's own game. That's why
they haven't made any Improvements."

THE BITTERNESS OF BISMARCK
story of Forced Resignation t range
Mixture ot F.lnqnenee and
Ioqnaetoasnra.
No one ever came Into the presence of
the chancellor without a deep sense of the
mind-power rv floe ted from those largo
gray-blue orlis. Their flashing brilliancy
and the piercing penetration of the glances
shot from them were never to bo forgotten.
They seemed Incapable' of expressing
affection, and their stcel-irSo hardness only
Inspired awe for the towering Intellect, the
Irresistible will, the defiant courage, tho
flrey energy of their owner. To watch the
lightning changes of expression mirrored
In them, reflecting the strong emotions
evoked by humbled pride, wounded ambi
tion, and thwarted selfishness and, above
all, by the loss of his absolute sway, was
Indeed an enviable privilege.
After describing his estate, tho prince
began speaking English "so that that fel
low," pointing to the coachman, "may not
understand us" and surprised me by his
fluency, his command of Idiomatic expres
sions, and his very slight accent. He hean
with these words, "Since 1 have been
kicked out of office," which so astonished
me that I bogged pardon for Interrupting
him and said: "Prince, that Is an Ameri
canism; where did you pick R upV lie
answered that he did not remember where,
but the expression fitted his case exactly,
for the manner of his dismissal was but
the equivalent of an application of tho tea
of a boot, lie then proceeded to tell the
story of his forced resignation.
Such a rapid flow of keen wit. of cutting
sarcasm and bitter denunciation as fol
lowed for half an hour I had never heard
before and never heard again. It was a
strange mixture of eloquence and hxiua
clousness. Bismarck's vol seemed not as
deep and strong as his stature led one to
expect, but It had a pleasant sound. A
most Intense sense of the wrong and In
gratitude he claimed to have suffered made
Itself manifest. As an example of his un
just treatment he recounted what he had
done to unify the nation and to nggrnndixe
the Hohenxollern dynasty. There was not
only an unhesitating assertion of his own
deserts as the founder of the German em
pire, but an almost sneering and even con
temptuous depreciation of other perform
ers In tho historic drHma of his time. In
cluding even the old Emperor William, tho
unfortunate Emperor Frederick and the
Empresses Augusta and Frederick. Ills
language became a perfect diatribe when
he referred to the present emperor and
some of his ministers, whom he held re
sponsible for his removal. Ills expressions
regarding them were not only amazing, hut
embarrnslng, to me, as I had close social
relations with many of the ministerial ob
jects of his scorn. "Some of those rogues
I picked out of the very gutter," he once
said. Fortunately, he did not stop for any
word of assent, but went right on until his
pent-up wrath was expended. As he re
marked, when It was all spent:
'It was quite a relief to me o have this
opportunity to speak without restraint to
a gentleman who, I am sure, will honor
my confidence."
Even were It not for this restriction, some
of the sayings I heard and noted down at
the time were so extraordinary that. If
they were repeated, their reality would
probably be doubted, and certainly tho
lese majesty they Involved would render
It unsafe for me to venture again on Ger
man soil. Henry Vellard in the Century.
AVOID LIVER TROUBLES
Many People Die Annually Because of Diseased
Liver. "
It It appalling the
number of people
whose liven are out

I find by experience
In my many years of
practice ai a physi
cian, that we are sur
rounded on every
tide by people who
aro dying by Inches
with a diseased liver,
and who do not real
he the fact.
It ia wicked that
inch a condition should exist when a tare
can so easily be accomplished. 1 pride my
self that I have succeeded in effecting many
caret that are most astounding, by the nee of
ray valuable preparation, Dr. Kay's Renova
tor. To prove this s'atetnent I have hundreds
oflerte-.t of gratitude from many different
f arts of the country. Following is one from
he Rev. W. C. Avey, of West Plain, Mo.,
who says:
"I have used Dr. Kay's Renovator for
liver trouble, and received great benefit from
Its use. As a mild, pleasant cathartic I con
sider It the best 1 ver u -d. Since takinc it
I can pasa thronph the nlehtwith but little
pain, and my sleep is much more refreshing
than before I beran the use of the Ren
orator." My Renovator acts directly upon the liver.
